The apartment is cozy and has everything you need. The gym and swimming pool are a plus and Wi-Fi is very fast.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t bring myself to give it 5 stars due to a couple of things that could have been better.
For starters, we were provided only 2 towels (for 2 guests), usually you’d get 2 big and 2 small ones, since I don’t want to dry my face with the towel I use to dry my other bits 😅. When I asked for more the communication was a bit odd and somewhat robotic, and anyway in the end I was told to just wash the already provided towels - I was there for more than 1 week.
The place looked mostly clean, but the drain in the bathroom let off a weird smell that spread around the house. The apartment is also next to the garbage room so a few unwanted bugs made their way in through the door.
Like others mentioned the apartment is not well lit in the main area, but it wasn’t so bothersome unless I had online work meetings, in which case, I was able to move a table lamp over to light up that corner of the room.
I found it a bit difficult to get to the right building since it’s at the very back, and the guard didn’t really help.
Lastly, location-wise it is not far from the center, but personally I felt like it was not well connected, and with Bangkok traffic it can still take a while to get anywhere. I also didn’t feel so safe walking around that area as soon as it got dark.
All in all I think it’s still a good place if you need an apartment with kitchen and amenities, especially if you are alone.
However, for the same price, I would rather book a hotel that is more central and easy to find next time.
I noticed that on Airbnb hosts tend to get a bit feisty if you give negative feedback so I want to make it clear that this is my subjective experience and I still gave 4 stars even though maybe some people would have given less. I don’t want to damage the overall score as I think the place is not bad, and maybe others would be totally fine with it. It just needs some polishing and definitely more towels please 🙏
